Promotes experimentation in the schools with technology-enhanced approaches to teaching and research, consulting broadly with faculty, students, and staff

Identifies and promotes existing projects and future opportunities to explore and assess the pedagogical benefits associated with the use of technology to support teaching and learning objectives

Identifies and promotes best practices for course design and instruction using technology, and for institutional support of technology-enhanced education

Develops means for assessing technology-enhanced courses, in consultation with experts in assessment and technology-enhanced education from within or outside the University, and promotes the sharing of these assessments across the schools

Makes recommendations for instructional technology improvements to the Teaching Technology Committee; educates faculty on how decisions are made in this area at NYU

Reviews individual schools’ initiatives in technology-enhanced education, to determine if a University-level strategy emerges and to prepare the University to respond to both challenges and opportunities that arise in this area

In consultation with the appropriate individuals and groups (faculty, students, service delivery units, and project teams), the committee provides focus on current learning analytic practices and identifies future needs to improve this practice.

The Learning Analytic Working Group (LAWG)

Shares examples of current learning analytic practices and findings

Identifies best practices

Educates on the usefulness and possibilities around the practice of learning analytics

Documents gaps and needs in terms of infrastructure, policy, process, and practice

Current Goals

Examine various technology enhanced courses in order to identify learning analytic questions and learning data sources within various systems

Identify readily available learning data and not readily available learning data

Pilot and document the process to request learning data from various sources (e.g., NYU Classes and SIS)

Deliver a year end report with recommendations concerning infrastructure, policy, process, and practice gaps and needs to improve the practice of learning analytics

User Advisory Group/Digital Learning Environment Committee

The User Advisory Group is a recommendatory committee intended to capture the needs of our user community; it develops granular User Needs Reports (see below) both on topics that its own members surface and at the behest of the Digital Learning Committee (DLE). It is not a decision-making committee; its recommendations must be endorsed by the DLE before they are passed on to the Teaching Technology Committee (TTC) for final review and potential adoption. In recommending solutions for user needs, the UAG is informed by the landscape reviews of available platforms for meeting particular needs (e.g. web-conferencing) that the Instructional Technologists Subcommittee provides.

In consultation with the appropriate individuals and groups (faculty, students, service delivery units and project teams), the Digital Learning Environment committee provides a focus on next generation digital learning environment tools.Read more about the Digital Learning Environment Committee

To that end, the committee

Ensures features of new tools are benchmarked against existing supported NYU educational tools, define, approve and review tool pilots, make recommendations on communications surrounding educational tools to the NYU community

Makes recommendations about vision, future direction, tool prioritization and resource allocation to the full Teaching Technology Committee and other advisory, community and governance groups

Defines and measure success of educational tool pilots

Define a process for promoting tool adoption

Delivers a year end report with recommendations for tool purchase and adoption

Matures the work of the User Advisory Group to support instructional technology as a well as learning management tools and services planning

Members of the Digital Learning Environment Committee

Co-Chairs

Patricia Heard, School of Professional StudiesJason Korenkiewicz, NYU IT

Surfaces school-based, portal-based, and site-based instructional technology needs, with the goal of coordinating decision-making so that, where possible, University-wide solutions can be reached and shared

Continues to address emerging support needs through the evaluation and assessment of instructional technology services

Enhances the information architecture (e.g., visibility, navigability) of existing online resources about technology-enhanced education, and ensure that online resources (e.g., the FAQs, the inventory of online and hybrid/blended courses, and the bibliography of articles about technology-enhanced education) are regularly updated

Develops and disseminates best practices and emerging trends for instructional uses of technology, especially standards for online courses

Develops and disseminate training and workshop materials for instructors and instructional technologists across NYU

Creates instructional technology targets and goals as well as coordination of instructional technology pilots
